Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 937 Internal chaos
Seeing that everyone was silent, someone said displeasedly: "Then why are we taking such a big risk to meet up this time?"

"Do nothing and wait to die?"

What he said was very unpleasant, but the man's voice was quite old. Some people recognized it and knew that the family behind it was quite powerful, so everyone wanted to give him face. After a short silence, a young voice spoke The voice sounded: "It's not that you don't do it, but you have to be cautious."

"Right now the fierce tiger's attitude is unclear. Even if we can get away with it and offer the city, will he spare us?"

"Not to mention that the nobles of the Huns are well-guarded. How can our slaves compare with the guards of the Southern Huns?"

Some people also recognized this voice. He came from a small family and his background was not deep. However, no one looked down on him because this family had channels in Jizhou and could get things that the nobles liked, such as sugar and antiques. He has a pretty good reputation in Jinyang City.

In addition, this person spoke very objectively and cautiously, and everyone nodded. What they were afraid of was that their investment would not be rewarded. This was due to the thinking of businessmen, so everyone was waiting and watching.

Someone said: "How about a two-pronged approach, on the one hand to find out the whereabouts of the Xiongnu nobles, and on the other hand to send people to contact the fierce tiger to have a look?"

"If Xionghu agrees, he will certainly let us cooperate. We can then send out information about the whereabouts of the Xiongnu noble, or lure the Xiongnu noble into a trap, allowing Xionghu to borrow his knife to kill someone."

"If we can succeed, it will be a great achievement. The fierce tiger will definitely open up to us. Then everyone will be able to change the family and keep the family business. At worst, it will be better to donate more property to the fierce tiger than waiting for the city to be raped. , If you end up investing in the wrong person, you will really lose everything.”

Everyone was shocked and heard the man say: "If any spies report our actions to the Huns, we will all die without a burial place."

"In this way, if something happens in the future, everyone will not be able to escape the relationship. If the family is fine, he is a Huns spy. Then the fierce tiger will be able to identify who it is based on the name, and he will definitely exterminate his family after the city is broken!"

The man spoke up: "Everyone, please understand, what we are doing now is a beheading business, and not fearing death is the prerequisite, but the last thing we want is to get things done!"

Someone said: "Then let's go back and wait for a few days. If it's safe, how about we make another plan?"

The young man sneered and said: "If there is really a spy, he will already know what we said now. After he returns, he will definitely persuade the Huns to set up an ambush and wait for us to take the bait."

“To achieve this goal, you can never be too cautious.”

"What's more, we are all businessmen, so we naturally know that in order to make profits, especially huge profits, many people will even risk their lives and wealth. What's more, there is no need for me to tell you how much benefit you can get from selling everyone to the Huns, right? "

"But besides that, he will have to face the fierce tiger and the revenge of all the dissatisfied Shang clan. With a huge reward, can this spy live a peaceful life for the rest of his life?"

The young man said loudly: "No matter whether this thing can be done or not, we who are here now must not cause any problems!"

Everyone knew that the young man's words were meant for the spies who were unknown, and they all agreed. The young man said: "Of course, this is just my guess. It would be better if there are no spies among us."

"First of all, we have to write everyone's family names in blood, and then send them out of the city to the fierce tiger. No one can stay out of it!"

"I believe that in the current situation, there must be many people who are trying to be in two different boats, and I am not opposed to it, but I would like to advise everyone that if you are in two different boats, you should place your bets separately before the final result comes out, rather than splitting the money. If a ship is scuttled on its own initiative, that is called a desperate move.”

Everyone was slightly moved after hearing this, but the young man from before said loudly: "This idea seems good, but there is still a big hidden danger."

"If we still stupidly go looking for Xiuhu, we will definitely fall into the trap of the Huns. If we have spies by then, we may send false information deliberately sent by the Huns. If Xiuhu gets the information and falls into the trap, he will definitely fall into the trap. If you take it out on us, what will happen to us then?”

The old voice from before spoke up, "What this little friend said is reasonable. It involves our family and life, and the hundreds of people behind us have to be cautious."

The young man said: "Who among you can guarantee that there are no Huns spies among the people present?"

Everyone hurriedly asked: "What's the hidden danger?"

"Then, in my opinion, little friend, what should I do?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and some people couldn't help complaining: "This won't work, that won't work either, do you still want to do it?"

"If there is a spy among us, we should also think about the consequences of whether the city guard can do such a thing. If he dares to betray us at the risk of the entire clan being destroyed, then we have no choice but to admit it!"

Everyone was silent. This young man had got to the point. As businessmen, they would even kill soldiers and thieves in order to obtain huge profits, let alone talk about it?

After hearing this, everyone praised and said, "My little friend, you really understand the essence of our businessman. If our family had a young talent like you, we would be able to reach a higher level."

An old voice sounded, "In that case, how about letting me go look for the vicious tiger?"

The young man said: "My family is weak, and the fierce tiger may not notice it. It is better for you to recommend people with high moral character and respect."

After some negotiation, everyone finally chose the family of Old Voice. After writing the blood letter, Old Voice left immediately and arranged for someone to go out of the city to deliver the letter. Everyone also hid their whereabouts and left.

The young voice left the secret room alone. In the dark night, he did not take a carriage. Instead, he hid his figure and walked quietly a few streets away. Then he jumped slightly, climbed over a courtyard wall, and entered a house. The family mansion was turned over from the other side.

He changed several routes and hid in the backyard of a house for more than half an hour. After confirming that no one was watching, he climbed out of the wall again, hid his figure in the night and left. He didn't know if there were Huns spies among the people at the party, but he was a nail planted by Yuan Xi. In order to hide his identity, he never sent any news to avoid exposing his identity. It was only recently that he received the message. letter and began to act according to the secret order.

He was still very satisfied with his performance today, because what he said was watertight and did not take any side. He not only succeeded in dispelling others' doubts about him, but also tied these people onto Yuan Xi's chariot.

All that's left is to wait for orders from outside the city and wait for the opportunity to move.

When Yuan Xi received the blood letter from the city, he looked at the family names on it and smiled at Lu Lingqi: "Businessmen are indeed profit-seeking, and now they are betting on both ends."

Lu Lingqi said: "Husband, you want to reject them?"

Yuan Xi shook his head and said: "No, I won't hit the smiling person. Since they made a bet on my side, I will respond to some extent."

"This is a rule. If I break the rule, who in the world will dare to take refuge in me in the future?"

"Although I really don't like them, I definitely won't let my personal likes and dislikes harm the overall situation."

"It seems that there will be a big drama in the city soon. Then it will depend on how much chips these families are willing to pay."

Lu Lingqi smiled and said: "My husband is very evil-hearted. This is inciting them to fight."

"Even if either the Xiongnu or the Shang tribe wins, the price will definitely be high, right?"

Yuan Xi nodded slightly, "It is better than our soldiers dying."

No wonder Cao Cao likes to play tricks, he thought. This feeling of scheming people is really good.

Yuan Xi felt more and more that while he was changing the world, the world was also changing him.

Compared with himself when he was just reborn and time traveled, now he has lost some of his youthfulness, abandoned some of his unrealistic delusions, and accepted the fact that his abilities are limited, thus becoming more adaptable to the cruel reality of this world. In the process , Yuan Xicai realized that he was gradually growing up.

Different from the ignorance before his rebirth, now he has experienced too many things and seen too much misery and helplessness. He can only make some compromises. After all, the world does not revolve around his own will.

Especially everyone in this world has their own desires and demands. Yuan Xi’s enemies are like this, so are his family members, and even the women who are closest to him have their own thoughts. This is because they are living people, and It’s not a puppet that’s turned on its head.

Yuan Xi thinks this is good and this is enough.

However, Yuan Xi would not have much sympathy for the enemies in the city. After all, behind him were millions of soldiers and civilians who had entrusted their lives and fortunes to him.

He stood up and said to Lu Lingqi: "I'm going to summon my subordinates. It's time to put some pressure on the city."

Qingzhou.

In the official residence of the government office in Pingyuan, Zhuge Liang was writing at his desk. Huang Yueying came in with a bowl of porridge and said, "I am afraid that my husband will have to stay up late again, so I cooked the porridge."

After Zhuge Liang finished writing a line of words, he put down his pen, stood up to greet Huang Yueying, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, madam. If you are tired, please rest first."

"It's not easy for you to come back from Youzhou, so you don't have to be so busy."

Huang Yueying was also a little depressed. She was sent to Youzhou. Seeing that she was almost 20 years old, she took leave to look for Zhuge Liang. She would go back after the new year!

She sat aside and said, "Have I disturbed my husband?"

"Then I'll wait for my husband to finish processing the official documents and finish his porridge before leaving."

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "It's not an official document, just some thoughts. Just take a break."

He stirred it a few times, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew a few mouthfuls of it, and handed it to Huang Yueying.

Huang Yueying's pretty face turned red, and she opened her mouth to drink. Mr. Xin Dao was still so considerate, but the two of them were now separated. When would they still be the same?
I have offended Fierce Tiger. This man is very bad. He will not let himself live like this in the past few years, right?

She covered up the worry on her face and said, "What are you writing, husband?"

Zhuge Liang was drinking porridge with his head down, and when he heard the words, he said: "I am writing this advice to my lord."

"I have been a military advisor for a long time. Although I am now the governor of Qingzhou, I still have to provide advice to the lord and decide the future strategic direction."

"But my ideas have never been mature. Today's situation is difficult to judge."
